Arrested For Bringing Letter?

October 23, 2008

Why hello!

Long time no see! I have been busy with work and readjusting myself to traffic jams, early bedtimes, etc. So how has everyone been?

Anyway, just some amazing news today about the arrest of a 6 year old. Really couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the following piece of news from Malaysiakini:

Uthaya’s niece, 11 others held

The six-year-old niece of detained Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar was with 11 people arrested when they attempted to submit a letter at Prime Minister Department’s office in Putrajaya today.

P Vwaishhnnavi (right) is the daughter of Hindraf chairperson P Waythamoorthy who is currently in self-imposed exile in London. Her mother K Shanti was also among those arrested.

Police Watch Malaysia coordinator S Jayathas, who was also held, claimed that they had been told that they were part of an illegal assembly for having gathered near the entrance of the building.

“We were trying to obtain permission from the security guards for Vwaishhnnavi to submit her letter. They said that we were from Hindraf, but we insisted that we were concerned Indians who were accompanying Vwaishnnavi,” Jayathas when contacted.

A child just follows
Adults ask to go
No question in a child’s mind
Adults know best

A child just wants to please
Get the best world in the mind
A child knows nothing
A child just wants to be nice

Along the way adults use them
In wars, in protests and in terrorists demands
As hostages too children as the mercy of adults
They will just go as adults talk them into it

The world of conflicts
Children become the pawn
They suffer the most
As adults leave them to fend on their own
Parents all gone the eyes of sorrows the children see it all

And here we have
The uniformed personnel
Showing lack of compassion
What get into their minds?

Children never know
Of adults who show lack of responsibility
They just flow with the adults
Believing them to be right

p/s I had my times with traffic jams and waking up early in the morning. I believe you are jamming in kl city. Now I dont have to worry any more. Enough of it. I plonk myself into a not so traffic jam place though I miss my hometown.
